The perpendicular annotation inserts the perpendicular mark between any two of these line types: line, segment, polygon side or vector.  Use these steps:

  1. Select ebd_Ebd212  two of any line, segment, vector, or polygon side.  The Annotate / Perpendicular icon annotate perpendicular  will light up when both lines are highlighted.
  2. Click the icon.

Note:  Placing this annotation between two lines does not change the relative position of the lines or prevent the lines from changing their relative position as it does with the Constrain tool of the same name.

 

This annotation is very useful if you are displaying a 3-d object.  In this example we imported the Triangular Prism from the Solids folder in the Figure Gallery.
